Given two triangulations of a convex polygon, computing the minimum number of flips required to transform one to the other is a long-standing open problem. It is not known whether the problem is in P or NP-complete. We prove that two…
For the given regular plane polygon and an arbitrary point in the plane of the polygon, the distances from the point to the vertices of the polygon are defined. We proved that there is one more non-congruent regular polygon having the…
We study the minimum number of distinct distances between point sets on two curves in $R^3$. Assume that one curve contains $m$ points and the other $n$ points. Our main results: (a) When the curves are conic sections, we characterize all…
We survey theoretical, algorithmic, and computational results at the intersection of distance geometry problems and mathematical programming, both with and without adjacencies as part of the input. While mathematical programming methods can…
We show how it is possible to formulate Euclidean two-dimensional quantum gravity as the scaling limit of an ordinary statistical system by means of dynamical triangulations, which can be viewed as a discretization in the space of…
The gravitational clustering of collisionless particles in an expanding universe is modelled using some simple physical ideas. I show that it is possible to understand the nonlinear clustering in terms of three well defined regimes: (1)…
We derive the exact generating function for planar maps (genus zero fatgraphs) with vertices of arbitrary even valence and with two marked points at a fixed geodesic distance. This is done in a purely combinatorial way based on a bijection…
In information theory -- as well as in the adjacent fields of statistics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, signal processing and pattern recognition -- many flexibilizations of the omnipresent Kullback-Leibler information distance…
We study the double homology associated to triangulated spheres and present two results. First, we explicitly compute the double homology for minimum degree sphere triangulations. Using a spectral sequence argument, we compute the effect of…
It has been known that the distribution of the random distances between two uniformly distributed points within a convex polygon can be obtained based on its chord length distribution (CLD). In this report, we first verify the existing…
The measurement of distance between two objects is generalized to the case where the objects are no longer points but are one-dimensional. Additional concepts such as non-extensibility, curvature constraints, and non-crossing become central…
We use freely acting asymmetric orbifolds of type IIB string theory to construct a class of theories in four dimensions with eight supercharges. Their low energy effective field theories resemble $STU$ models, but have different duality…
We study the geodesic two- and three-point functions of random weighted cubic maps, which are obtained by assigning random edge lengths to random cubic planar maps. Explicit expressions are obtained by taking limits of recently established…
The general expression of the angular distance between two point sources as measured by an arbitrary observer is given. The modelling presented here is rigorous, covariant and valid in any space-time. The sources of light may be located at…
Let the space $\mathbb{R}^n$ be endowed with a Minkowski structure $M$ (that is $M\colon \mathbb{R}^n \to [0,+\infty)$ is the gauge function of a compact convex set having the origin as an interior point, and with boundary of class $C^2$),…
By using the braneworld model, we investigate the time evolution of microscopic and macroscopic correlations in expanding universes. To describe the FLRW cosmologies in the holographic setup, we take into account a braneworld moving in the…
We suggest novel statistics for the CMB maps that are sensitive to non-Gaussian features. These statistics are natural generalizations of the geometrical and topological methods that have been already used in cosmology such as the…
In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…
We study a hierarchical model of non-overlapping cubes of sidelengths $2^j$, $j \in \mathbb{Z}$. The model allows for cubes of arbitrarily small size and the activities need not be translationally invariant. It can also be recast as a spin…
A theoretical mechanism is devised to determine the large distance physics of spacetime. It is a two dimensional nonlinear model, the lambda model, set to govern the string worldsurface to remedy the failure of string theory. The lambda…
